So now it will me more difficult to figure out the extend of the disinformation campaign coming from Russia and China. In bird culture this is called a dick move.

Not European so it might be out of line for me to comment on this but it seems to me that it’s fully within their right as a private company. It’s not some public archive hosted by the EU and it’s not something they’re required to keep by some kind of regulation. It’s very cool that you could access that data in the past, but it’s their data hosted on their servers. Imo it’s 100% fine for them to decide they don’t want to host it anymore for whatever reason. Especially given the context provided by the other commenters.

It is not Google’s job to keep an historical archive.
